My memories of sister Rae

My dear sister Rae
Like her there's no other
To us kids, long ago,
She was our second mother.
She always helped Mom
Without any fuss
And on the beach
kept watch over us.
She took us on picnics
and to the zoo
She filled our lunch bags
with sandwiches too
The trips to the museums
And to Luna Park
Were so much fun
and such a lark.
I still remember
that wonderful day
We went to the Statue
of Liberty, with Rae.
She taught us everything
a family should be
With the love and the caring
you can feel and see
She enriched our lives
in so many ways
I'll be grateful to RAE
the rest of my days.
from your kid sister, TERRY (5/6/99)
